Okay thank you! Yes he gets very lively, almost like hes jumping! Ive been reading up also and maybe the formula isnt warm enough as apparently that can cause slow disgestion so ill use a thermometer from now on to make sure its perfect temp :)

I did have to use a thermometer also, just not sensitive enough to tell on my wrist. 37C or98.6F is what I see recommended. I would start at ~101 and if it cools a couple its still ok.

eta Fiddling to get the temp right was my least favorite part. lol

Sounds good, make sure he is warm enough. They usually feel a bit sweaty when you pic them up. Must be the fast metabolism.:confused:
 
I know ha! Yes he has had a good feed, his wee crop is nicely full and hes sleeping away :) hes doing really well, putting on weight each day and very lively, i think he'll be a wee crazy one as he gets older lol!! I want to name him but need to wait until i can tell if hes male or female, even though i keep calling him a he haha!
